Back home finally. Just came back home and had dinner. I went to school today as i asked Anthony to teach me Maths in the library. But in the end, we spent 5 whole hours just on 6 questions. Felt like i was wasting his time :(( *Sorry Anthony!* *haiis* Did questions on 'matrices'. Such a headache. I had many confusions due to complications. I was quite confused as to which row should multiply by which column.
Most of my EEEclub friends went for the barbeque at Shu Jie's house at Admirlty. But i can't go as I am suppose to do more maths practices with my dad. *haiis*
*phew* I finally learnt how to play the song 'Collide' by Howie Day and 'You And Me' by LifeHouse using the guitar. But I am rather afraid that I might forget all the strumming rythms :(( Personally, I think guitar is quite hard. But I am improving bit by bit each time. I am currently aiming for being able to listen to a song just a few times and catch the strumming method. I want to be able to excel in guitar!! I want to learn many many types of strummings!! I want to learn pluckings too!! Anyone have nice songs that can be played on the guitar too? errs, but i need easier strumming ones. *hahas*

I would be having TKD training tomorrow. Hope i see Nelson PaPa tomorrow. I am so going to train hard. I want at least a silver medal in IVP. But I want a GOLD MEDAL!!! T-R-A-I-N! Train! Train! Train!! I am willing to put my time in training. But that would be only after my upcoming MST that is going to be in week 9.

Recently, my kor came up with a phrase that i find is rather touching and meaningful. And that is "Even if you are a cactus, I am willing to hold you tight." There are matters of the heart that even if time is given, it will never be solved. I want to make myself clear sometimes, but to no avail. I want to make things clear without hurting someone. Can someone tell me how do i accomplish that? Tried confiding in my friend today. But the answer that i got was to be more 'jue' (cruel). But it does not work for me as i am those kind who tries not to hurt someone's feelings(unless its joking etc in a playful manner). I wish I am more matured to think out of a solution for this situation :((

My Dad just came back from Vietnam after his company's annual tour that lasted from Saturday till this morning. He bought back some snacks from Vietnam, but being quite a big eater myself, i ate practically everything. *oops* After settling down at home(while i was in school), my parents went to Tanjong Pagar to buy the cream puff like thing. It looks like this:














-From Top Left, clockwise: Coffee, Cheese, Apple.








-From Top Left, clockwise: Cherry, Chocolate(I think), Chocolate.

Each creampuff cost $1. *hahas*.

Looking through all the past photos that i took with my camera reminds me of my Project 1 Work piece:

That's all for today! :)) Such a tiring day!!*phew*

Saturday 27 October 2007

Had a rather tiring day yesterday. Community Service was so fun. We went to Mei Ling street in Queenstown to do CS. We went door to door to ask the residents if they have any unwanted clothes or newspapers to contribute to recycle. I ended up in the group together with De Sheng, Wei Da(my nai ma), Zhi Ning, Jordan, Shu Jia and Si Kai as the Leader. 1 of us have to stay at the collection point to look after the stuff. I paired up with De Sheng and Wei Da at the first half of the CS. We got stuff like old magazines too. We had chicken rice for lunch after the first half. I ate plenty of vegetables. Vegetables are so delicious! *yumyum* The experience of having lunch on the ground was kind of fun and unique. We placed 2 big cardboards on the 'bird shit-strewn floor' and sat their having our lunch like some typical picnic on the beach. My friends all said eating the chicken rice chilli will cause bad breath. But i seldom eat the chicken rice chilli. Anyway, those who ate the chicken rice chilli(except Zhi Ning) burped so much after their meal and it really stinks. After lunch, we continued with the second half. Halfway through the second half, De Sheng had to go off. Leaving only Wei Da and I to continue as a pair. There is one particular unit that totally tired us out. The owner gave us a stack of nespapers and a great sack of what seemed like old clothes and towels. Both Wei Da and I had quite a difficult time searching through our brains for the solution of securing the sack to the trolley. Finally, we just tied a small piece of rafia string to the knot of the plastic bag and secure it to the handle of the trolley. The sack was quite heavy. Some residents even donated assesment books. When we got back to the collection point, Marcus showed us a Patrick from the 'Sponge Bob Square Pants'. It looks relatively new, with the label and price tag still on. We ended the day with Wei Da, Wee Kiat, Melvynn and I going to Jurong Point to have our dinner. Both Melvynn and I ate curry vegetables.
I am going for the IVP sparring tournament. But first of all, i have to train more and go for those trainings on Fridays that i have missed for about 2 months. My basics is slightly improving. That day Nelson PaPa said that my kicks have power but no speed. And he said stamina comes with speed, which means i have to train on my stamina. *arrgh*! my stamina is depleting!! HELP!!
Haiis. Sometimes i wish i am more independant. In this way, I won't rely on my kor for too many things, which might cause unwanted trouble or problems. It's a long story.
Anyway, I shall end here :))

Wednesday 24 October 2007

*sighs* My Maths computer quiz is over at last. But, I only got 6/20 for it. Guess i must pull up my socks for the upcoming MST for Maths. I hate Maths. I really hate it. No matter how much I practice, I just can't excel in it. I can do most Maths questions outside exams quite alright. But when it comes to having Maths for examination, my results is sure to fail me. Since primary school, it has all along been like that. But for something on the comforting side, when it comes to big major examinations, my results would shoot up. errs. At least that was what I experienced for the past 10 years since primary 1 till secondary 4. Why can't I improve? How can I improve?

I agree with what 'Attitude' said about "Its NOT just how u accept a person's attitude. Cos some people have attitudes that are generally unacceptable by most people. Hence, they are labeled to have an attitude problem by general consensus". What is considered having an attitude problem? But i still feel that peer influence is something which affects the whole problem greatly. For example, one might not feel another has any major attitude problem. But as their clique might have certain discussions about certain people who they have seen or communicate with, they tend to say all the bad points, which made their friends see only the bad points of the 'victim'. And usually, bad impression counts alot and leave an even greater impression on the negative side.

No tutorial for Maths today. But we are having maths lecture. The lecturer is going to teach the topic on 'Matrix'. Lesson would be till 4.30pm today. Following, we will have Captain's Ball briefing. Guess it will be another late night.

I shall end here :))

Tuesday 23 October 2007

Currently having IDEAS now. After reading all those comments that Bala and Melvynn posted, I want to state my point of view. I do not hate anyone. I just probably dislike them. But, although i might dislike them, that does not stop me from talking to them normally. To me, I personally think anything that you feel is wrong with the world is probably something to do with myself. My senior once told me that nothing is wrong with the attitude of another person. It's the way how u accept their attitude. Based on this, Attitude problem lies with only yourself. I once hated almost everyone. But after that talk with my senior, i realised that I learned to be more open to the world around me. Nothing can be perfect. Accept one's character for the best of yourself. But sometimes it's rather difficult. But I am trying. Is everyone trying? Or are they just blaming others for what they have done and accomplished no matter its good or bad. Often, bad points are regarded more than good points. Bad points leave a greater impression. But why can't anyone start afresh of understanding someone even though that someone might have once left you a rather bad impression? Now, is it the fault of the 'hater' or the 'person being hated'? To get along well with another is to accept them for who they are.

Sometimes, the world is full of hypocrites. The world might backstab u anytime, anywhere, moments when you will never expect in your life. Sometimes, I feel I might hate, no, maybe i should use the word dislike. Sometimes, I dislike this world. But what can I do? *sighs*

I want to change myself for the better. My goal? Firstly, I WANT to stop being violent and stop kicking almost everyone. Secondly, change my attitude to be more serious and responsible in matters that i would be handling.

I had TKD training yesterday. As what I have mentioned before, I will join the pattern tournament for the IVP(Inter-Varsity Polytechnic) tournament. But now, I am considering whether to join the Sparring tournament for the IVP. I trained my kicking yesterday instead of sparring as what I had been doing for the past few trainings. My 'papa' Nelson trained me. But he commented my kick as powerful but not fast enough. I kicked more on the powerpac(for power-training) and a little on the handmitt(for acuracy-training). *arrgh* I need to 'turn in' more for my turning kick. Must train more on it. Both MinYi and i came up with a training strategy. On alternate Tuesday, we will train on kicks or sparring. But I guess I will have to train more on my kicks before i start training on sparring. I think my papa did a rather great job guiding me. Thank You Nelson Papa!! :)) I will work really hard and not let you down! But I don't really know what am I targetting for. Whether to target to get a Gold/Silver medal, OR just go for the tournament just for the experience. *sighs*

Now I learned something from IDEAs. The lecturer taught:'Moment of truth'. It's a moment when there is something that will change the whole situation, whether good or bad. *arrgh* Now there is an upcoming project for IDEAs. We must go 'shopping' in a particular place. But we are not obliged to buy anything. Just have to check the price and information etc. This reminds me of the EEEClub's amazing race. Anything with EEEClub is just so memorable to me. Anyway, we have to use the five senses(hear, feel, taste, smell, see) in the process of the project. *woots~* Just realised that i got 70 for IDEAs project. But i feel rather bad. *sighs* I didn't even do anything for the project. And much worst, I didn't even present for the project. And it's like I got the project points free-of-charge. *haiis* There is this tinge of guilt. And right now, we have to get into groups of 4 for the IDEAs project. I hate it!! Oh great. That Yu Xiang told the lecturer that the previous group of group 5 and 9 would be together. *arrgh* How can he make decision for us? IDEAs lesson is over at last:))

I am trying to be a changed girl. I didn't even skip lessons this week. *weeee*. It's a great deal of effort alright? XD First, I will stop skipping lessons, second, I will start doing all those tutorials that the lecturer will give. Having GEMS, com discussion and Banner painting today. What a pack schedule day. And it never ends. When I get home tonight after banner painting, I would have to study for my Maths quiz!! I LOVE MATHS! Such a familiar phrase isn't it? *sobs* Guess I'm stuck with maths for all my life being in the engineering area now, and perhaps infuture? *sighs* Life is getting busier as it comes to MSTs. I just hope I get it over and done with as soon as possible. I want my holidays. Somehow, I am looking forward to next year's School of EEE Freshmen Orientation camp. The thought of it just thrills me :D

haha!! Just saw Raymond at the bench of T12301. The way he walks is so damn slack and shag. *hahas* Principles of Electrical and Electronics Engineering practical is up next on the lesson list. den from 1pm to 3pm having my GEMS(Introduction to Principles of Management), Com discussion at 3.15pm and banner painting after all has ended. Okie, finally, I am going to end here. Last thing to say, What my friend did was the right thing. Fault lies with myself and no one else :)) I am really apologethic for my act on impulse. *sighs*

That's all for today:))



Monday 22 October 2007

My lesson starts at 1.30pm today! yippy!! But the lesson would be MATHS. Not that i hate maths or whatsoever, but I feel its really killing my already ceasing braincells. Do someone have any methods or suggestions for fast replenishing of braincells? I need help!! *arrgh!*

Yesterday was, probably, the worst day ever. I should not have gotten angry over another's freedom of choice. But i didnt know what got into my friend and I. We were absolutely furious. Why can't humans just pluck up their courage or whatsoever to just tell the truth straight in another's face? Are they just being polite or that they are just cowards? I can't accept the fact that my friend and I are fed-up and angry at that friend. Mayb we are just being petty. But anyway, serve us right for being LOUSY in everything. Why can't I just be clever, smart or excel in anything? Is it totally my fault or other's fault? Anyway, It has been sometime, or maybe even a couple of years since i last gotten angry. I have managed to control my temper till I don't even feel angry at all even if someone did something that i should feel angry. Maybe, i should thank this friend of mine for helping me find my long lost anger. Thanks a whole bunch friend! I am thinking, some of my friends are starting to show their true colours. One moment they are nice to u. The next they will 'smack you in the face' and that hurts alot. I guess many are just being selfish and inconsiderate. They only care for their best and never consider the feelings of others. I am just stating all my feelings here so as not to bottle up those thinking. I feel like shouting down into the toilet bowl and flush these thinkings into the sewage. Good Bye!~

I am having training this evening at 7pm. I skipped last tuesday's training so as to help complete the Captain's Ball banner. I must pull up my socks for both my trainings and studies if i want to excel. I just love EEEClub. *sighs* It's now a habit to pop into the EEEClub at SAC whenever my lesson ends. But there is something I am afraid what might happen. I have told my Kelvin korkor before. *haiis* Hope matters turns out the way i want.

I choked on spicy food yesterday and my tears just kept flowing. But my friends actually laughed at me and said: "Thought you love spicy food?". Choking on spicy food does not mean not loving spicy food anymore. Or does it mean that loving spicy food tags along with the skill of eating spicy food? Thats a nice question. hmm...

I shall end here. Got to go get ready for my Maths lesson.

I LOVE MATHS. I LOVE STUDYING. I LOVE EVERYTHING RELATED TO STUDIES! Errs... that's what I am trying to psycho myself on. I LOVE MATHS. I LOVE STUDYING. I LOVE EVERYTHING RELATED TO STUDIES!!

PS: Can all members of EEEClub please help Melvynn in his LAN Gaming banner painting the whole of this week till Friday? We really need ur help!! Thank You to my dear EEEClub people! Your help is greatly appreciated! (Errs. I am suppose to help with calling system. But i suppose i should post in here too as some might not pick up the darn phone. *hahas*)

My post is so colourful today. I am living in a world of colourful colours!! :))

Saturday 20 October 2007

Wow! Imagine! Writing 2 posts in 1 single day. But now, i am going to blog about my meal thats between lunch and dinner. But that's not my actual meal. Anyway, I went to Ang Mo Kio Ave1 today with my parents(without my brother). We went to unit #01-04. I forgot the exact block. But its at the market and food centre place, and called 'teck ghee centre'. I think so. *hahas* anyway, i tried this BahKutTeh which tasted so nice. My parents ate the pig's trotters. The serving for each dish is generous. Not only that, it cost $5. If you are those who prefer eating meat that are not so soft, this stall offers the meat of ur choice. Personally, I prefer meat that are softer, but i still ate the meat anyway. If u finish the soup, you can go back to the stall to ask for more soup with ur empty bowl. But I am not sure if this applies to weekdays when the queue for the stall during lunch hours, are long.

I cooked my dinner again tonight. Here is the photo of it:












The small bowl at the top left corner is my 'homemade coleslaw'. The main dish is actually the 'ABC pasta' with my pasta sauce poured over it. I added the chilli that my grandmother made, pepper and salt to the tomato puree.This made the sauce spicy. I love spicy food!

*hahas* At the left side of the plate is my scramble egg, but i think it looks abit charred. The remaining portion of what seems like something at the edge of the plate is the black pepper chicken. I actually made my own black pepper sauce!! *woots* I fried the egg-coated chicken, then poured over the black pepper sauce. *yumyum* Unfortunately, I was too full to consume all my food, as i ate the bahkut teh around 3pm. That's all about my food of the day :)) I should be cooking again tomorrow. *yeah!*

UPDATES:

Captain's Ball Banner






+Before+











+After+


That's all for today! Good night!

Friday 19 October 2007

Haha. It's been some time since i last posted. I still haven't gotten my photos on the Captain's Ball banner currently. *haiis*

Recently, SPChoir called my handphone to asked if i wanted to join them. I am so tempted now. Right from the beginning when i first joined SP, i told myself that i would join their choir for my CCA. But something told me otherwise. From what i have heard, their trainings and expectations is so darn high. And being in choir myself for 8 years does not help me overome that barrier. What should i do? Now, i really feel like joining their choir, but my parents does not allow as I have other committments to fulfill, such as my studies, EEEclub and SP taekwondo. I guess i will just have to set my hopes of getting into SPchoir aside then? *sighs*

Have been helping melvynn with his banner design yesterday. But all I was told to do by him is just to rearrange almost everything. As in where should the words and logo go etc. I tried my best to cut out and pasted everything on another piece of paper, and i did that twice. But in the end, the 'banner' was rejected by Benny(The senior advisor). *oh man* I hope Melvynn gets all the help that he needs and get his job over and done with as soon as possible as his banner has to be hung up this coming friday, and thats like wow! Very very soon! And i heard from him that in Monday he is going to paint the white canvas black and draw on it. How i wish my drawing is good so that I can help him. But my drawing standard sucks like duh. Although I took art for my O levels, that does not mean that my drawing is good. You can say that I am only good in my painting. I Love Painting!!
I can spend an entire day just painting. Painting just takes my mind off any worries or troubles. But but but, although I love painting, I hate painting on drawing blocks. Whenever I paint on such paper, I will leave patches of water marks and pieces of paper stuck on the piece of 'artwork'. But I love canvas painting using acrylic colour as the medium. I love blending colours like toning to ensure a 3D effect.
I am planning to join IVP for my taekwondo together with MinYi and others. We are doing the pattern, but have not decided on the pattern. But sure have limited choices though. As we are both brown-tips, we have to do any belt pattern either higher or same belt level. But I think its going to be darn tough. I haven't even gain back my lost memory for my brown-tip pattern that my 'papa'(Nelson) taught me like 2 weeks before. *haiis* Can someone give me a better memory??

School work is tougher now, with all PBIL projects coming up. My group have not done the Maths project yet. And what's worst, my maths computer quiz is coming up. And I have not attempted those trial quiz posted on the BlackBoard yet. *arrgh*

The School of Electrical & Electronics Engineering(SEEE)'s 50th anniversary was great!! It was held at the convention centre. Fellow students and lecturers of SEEE participated in the Star Search event. The winners of the 2 category would then compete with the student and staff of the other schools in SP. After that star search event, followed the speech given by the director, Mr Dave Chong. WOW! The way he speaks is just so cool. There is sort of like a slang in it. But during his speech, we, EEEClub members headed out to the open area between the convention centre and T12 to get ourselves ready. The four guitarists(myself, Zhi Ning, Matthew and Gary) got ready rehearsed for the 'Happy Birthday' song for the SEEE 50th Birthday. Actually, we tried playing the EEEClub birthday song that used the C-pro chords, but Roger disapproved it as it was quite long. *hahas* The banner was great when it was revealed by other lecturers who stood at the top of the banner at T12. Before that, the banner was covered up by a black cloth. It was so wonderful. 3 cheers & 3 cheers & 3 cheers for EEEClub! "Hip Hip Hurray! Hip Hip Hurray! Hip Hip Hurray!" Following the banner revealing, was the performance brought by SP Daiko club and SP LionDance club. After that, we had our dinner of KFC or Pizza. But guess what? Most of us EEEClub people actually ate 2 of it! *so darn full but very contented*. But all in all, that was like once in a lifetime experience. *haiis* Imagine! 50th anniversary, which means I have to be 67years old to experience it again. *hahas!*

I want my photos from both Charlene and Weida!! :))

Tuesday 16 October 2007

Currently in FC3 while I am writing my blog post. This morning came so early, at about 7.20am as my dad fectched me here. Lessons starts at 8am and it was IDEA lessons. We got dismissed at 8.45am. so early!! next lesson would be PEEE practical. Not much to do right now. I think i must pull up my socks for my studies. *haiis* Gonna be hard work.

The Captain's Ball banner is finally completed!! *yippy!* But so sad that i didnt take a photo of the final work. Hope that when the banner hangs up at T15, it would look nice. I will update on the banner when i get the photo.

YEAH!! SP's School of Electrical & Electronics Engineering will be celebrating its 50th anniversary today at the convention centre. We, as the helpers are told to report in club at 12noon. The event will consist of the star search and some other events.

Got to go for lesson now! I MISS EEEC ppls! *hahas* I will try to update again on the event. ((:

Monday 15 October 2007

I am having CAD lesson now.

Had my EEEClub Game fiesta event yesterday. Finally ended. *phew*. It had been drizzling at some time throughout the whole event. Hmm, i wonder who brought along an umbrella. Hope for the next event(Captain's Ball) that's organised by both WeiDa and ShuMin will be better. But my comment on this does not mean that the basketball event is bad. It's all about nature, the weather. Talking about the captain's ball event reminds me of its banner. Today is the due date of the completion of the banner. But at this moment, only half the banner is done, that means only the basic colour white for the base is being painted. Still long way to go. We really need alot of help from EEEC. But as the yr3s have their FYP(Final Year Project) to do, not all of them can come and help. And i feel thats bad as not all yr1 and yr2 can help too. Besides, alot of time will also be wasted on the drying of each paint. I hope that they get enough help today.

Yesterday's basketball event was great! I think Caspar and Jason did quite well, personally, i think its better than the previous event, which is the street soccer event. The street soccer event was not very organised. Maybe they lacked of experience??

Arrgh!! The guys of my class now is quite noisy. They are all discussing on where to play DOTA. OMG! i think they are all becoming dota freaks now. LaoLao was saying that he didn't have a mouse den how to play. So i think either he will borrow a mouse or they will head to moberly to play. Oh well, right now(11.06am) they are already starting to launch and join the game. It's been some time since i last played with more than 2 people on dota. The last time i played with more than 1 person was with YewYong, against QinHong and JunJie from EEEC, like 1 month ago?? hahas. And the last time 1 on 1 was with Melvynn last week.

Had a chat yesterday with Jonathan from EEEC in school. He advised me on what to do. *hahas* He even said that he have experience for this sort of things, and also that he can tell about how someone feels judging by their actions. But somehow i feel its all wrong. No matter how half my heart tells me how wrong his judgement and what he said might not be true, i somehow hoped deep in my heart that it must be true. I don't really know what I am thinking!! I shared with both weida and jonathan about my problems and what i am thinking. Thats the only way that i can get this burden off my mind. What should i do?? I wish i can talk to Jonathan more about it. But the only main thing he told me was to be very careful. he even said that i am quite naive as i am younger. *haiis* When can i ever grow up and think and settle matters like how my fellow seniors are doing??

Haven't been studying my Maths recently. Hmm, i guess i might forget some of what Anthony taught me? Guess i will be the death of him. *hahas* I will be having Maths lesson later. I hope that Maths lesson would trigger my brain cells to recall my Maths. Somehow, i feel I am like 'Dory' in 'Finding Nemo'. My memory seems to be failing me sometimes. I hope that i would be able to remember my whole pattern for my next grading pattern(brown-tip pattern).

Write till here. Got to go see what others are doing for CAD. hahas. XD

Sunday 14 October 2007

Went out with my family to SuntecCity this morning. We walked around for a long time till 3 plus. We headed for those food places near the Fountain of Wealth. After walking half of the perimeter, we decided to eat at the 'Just Noodles'. In the past like a few years back, we ate the 'drunken chicken noodles'. Personally, i think there is nothing special to it. The taste was not really outstanding. But today, we tried the 'spicy chicken set meal'. The meal comes with a bowl of rice, a serving of spicy chicken, soup, a small plate of pickled cabbage and TauHuey(hahas. weird spelling for it). The rice's texture is somewhat similar to the Korean serving of rice. As for the chicken, I personally think that it was not really spicy or up to my expectations of spiciness. It had sesame seed, onion, cabbage, spring onion and sliced chicken fillet in it. The soup looked quite plain. But it was actually rather tasty with some cai-xin in it. My favourite part of the meal is the tauhuey. The texture of it is so smooth, unlike those sold in normal shops. *yumyum* ((: The attractive thing about this meal is, firstly, it's only $6.90(that's quite reasonable compared to this sort of food that is sold in the food courts). Secondly, it comes with free-flow of coffee products(cuppucino, mocha, coffee with milk etc) and cold drinks(peach tea, fruit punch etc). Parents can also enjoy their meals there as there is a kids corner where building blocks and some toys are there for them to play with. Also, there is the kids menu. There's the 'spring roll noodle', 'Fried cod fish noodle' etc. The noodle is the same as those that are used in 'wanton noodles'. Not only is the food tasty, the environment is also quite good. Also, the service there are considered quite good as the waitress are friendly, cheerful and polite. The only bad thing is the female manager. She did not have basic ettiquette. She actually munched on her food while talking to a customer who approached her. By right, she should have the decency to have her meals in the kitchen. Any staff of food places should have the decency to act in such a way. Other than that, it was quite alright.

After having our meal, we soon headed for Carrefour and bought food to cook our own food. It was quite fun. I cooked spaghetti-like thick beehoon. I added sliced mushroom, bacon, sliced hotdogs, sambal chilli, onion, garlic, into the tomato puree i bought. The taste of it was unique as it was both sour and a little spicy. It's a pity that i didnt think of taking a picture of the food till after i almost finish it. *sobs* hmm, wonder what i should cook next Saturday.

Before cooking my dinner, i went cycling with my brother and dad in the campus of NTU. It was quite tiring as there are plenty of slopes. Once, i nearly fell of the bike after my front wheel nearly crashed my brother's back wheel. I must not let history repeat itself again. A few months back then SPTKD had our night cycling, my friends and i raced up the slope at high speed. Soon enough, i crashed into my friend's back wheel as he braked suddenly. I flew out of the bike and landed around 2 metres away. I landed on my left elbow. At that moment, the pain was excruciating. But nevertheless, soon after washing my wound with the tap water that we brought along, we continued our journey from EastCoastPark to ChangiVillage. The scar is now stuck with me. *haiis* Anyway, we cycled for slightly more than 2 hours. It's so tiring!!

Tomorrow will be a long day. I guess I would not have any time at night to blog about my day tomorrow. Anyway, EEEClub will be having its 2nd & 3rd round of basketball match. The reason why there is a 2nd match instead of only 3rd match is caused my the rain that cause hindrance to our game last Monday. So now, it's being brought forward. Hope it will not be really sunny. I don't want to be a charcoal!! *hahas* But I am already dark anyway. I guess i am going to be the receptionist tomorrow again. But I think it's quite good being it as it will improve my way of approaching strangers.

I'm so tired! Guess I will end here and sleep soon! :)) Anyone wants to try new food? hahas.

Saturday 13 October 2007

:))

It’s been quite some time since I last blogged. Have Been quite busy for these few days. Recently, I tried out some songs on my guitar, and they are: My happy ending, when you’re gone, girlfriend, keep holding on. All these songs are sang by Avril Lavinge. Recently, been chiong-ing (that’s what it seems to me) through my math on differentiation with Anthony teaching me. Managed to almost cover the topic. I stopped at the differentiation for log and ln. I hope I can pass my math for the next exam. *sighs*
Sometimes, I wish that I can control or make things happen the way I want it to be. But somehow, I think this is an act of selfishness. Recently, I have been thinking and considering about something and I do not really know what to do. I wish i could tell someone about it, but only my closer friend in EEEClub knows about it. I wish someone will advice me or somehow, the answers for my doubts will come straight to me. I have not really been this troubled before.
I don't really know what to post today. Hmm, maybe i post about my day? Went out with my family to Parkway Parade today. We went to Parkway Thai Restaurant to eat the buffet there. I think the food there is quite delicious and appealing. My favourite there was the 'fried baby squid'. It had this crunchy and crispy texture to it. My next favourite was the sweet and sour fish. the fish meat is both juicy and tender, but i think it would be better if the sauce that coated the meat would be slighty more sour. Next best was the thai style chicken satay. It was different from the typical satay that we will find in stalls operated by muslims or some chinese. While typical Singapore Satays are oily, skinny and contains fats, these satays are not as oily, and full of meat. The meat that they used are from the chicken tighs and drumsticks. Large chunks of meat can actually be seen, unlike the other kind of satay which are like a lump of meat. The peanut sauce to the satay is also absolutely delicious. But in this sauce, u will not find peanut bits like those that are sold by other sellers. It has this sweet taste to it. But i think some might not get used to its taste, its up to one's preference. What makes up thai food? Of course, not forgetting the Tom Yum soup, i laddled myself a bowl to try. It had bits of chicken chunks in it. Also, the sour and spicy taste compliments each other. Both the taste of spicy or sour does not stand out. Total, i lavished 3 bowls of the soup. But 1 warning, drink it while its piping hot. anything colder than that and u will find the soup abnormally sour. After filling myself up with all those delicious food, i moved on to deserts. My favourite was a 'kueh' made from pumpkin and coated with coconut shavings. I find that it's nicer than those pandan flavoured ones. Another desert which u should try is the 'durian sticky rice'. It's actually sweet but sticky rice, and u have to coat it with the durian puree provided. the mixture of the taste is just heavenly. I wanted to try the red-bean soup but my stomach was filled to the brim. My dad ate it and mentioned there are sago in it. I wish my stomach had more space just for it. the price for this buffet is $20+++. I forgot what was the actual price. And it's location is at the basement. Next, we went to Isetan at the second level and my mum bought for me the Shiseido facial cleanser which cost $36 for 1 bottle(150ml).
That's all for today!! :))

OUCH!

Had TKD training last evening at 7pm. I was slightly late for my training because i ended my stuff at around 6.45pm. By the time i am done with changing, it was already 6.50pm. I headed for Bang Deli at FC5 and bought 2 hotdog-waffles and honeydew Vitasoy. In the end, because I have just eaten, i ended up not running, because I felt like throwing up after eating my 'dinner'. During the training, we did our normal training for kicks. For the next half of the training, we did light contact sparring with our fellow mates. Although it’s light contact, my friends and I sparred with each other as if it’s like any other normal sparring. I sparred with Minyi, Jimson, Jun Xian, and Julian. The thought of sparring with Julian gives chill to my blood. I kind of had a phobia sparring with him. During the first few lessons, when I sparred with him, he actually gave me a side kick and i landed up lying on the floor. And this happened for 2 times. It gave me a bad experience then. From then onwards, I always had a phobia of sparring with him. But after yesterday, I did not have any phobia against him. *phew* Got injured yesterday during training. My shin and my friend’s shin clashed. Right now, my shin is having 2 bumps, and both my shins have bruises on it. *sobs* The first 1 was from the previous sparring session that happened like 2 months ago. I’ve got a feeling that this injury of mine will not heal. My elbow also got cut internally and I don’t know how it happened. The cut appeared after I used my elbow to block an incoming kick executed from my friend. During 1 of the sparring session yesterday, 1 guy fell while sparring with me. After that, he didn’t continue as his knee felt pain. Both Minyi and I have decided to come only for the trainings on Tuesday on not on Fridays as we felt that we do not have enough time to study.

Lessons are so boring today. Had IDEA (Innovation, Design, and Enterprise in Action) earlier from 8am to 10am. Currently having PEEE (Principles of electrical and electronics engineering) practical. I forgot how to use the oscilloscope *oh man!* can someone help me? While my friends are trying out the connection of the circuit with the oscilloscope, here I am writing for my post. *die la* Yesterday, Anthony taught me some math on the topic differentiation. After him teaching, my understanding of the topic was slightly better. Also, finally my lappy is rid of virus or spy ware. But I know this is only a short-term happiness. It’s known from my experience that I will get into such a situation at least once every month. They are sure to be back. I think I forgot how to do the scanning through the windows XP safe mode again. *sobs*

Oh ya, I would be skipping my GEMS class today to help out in the banner event for the EEE Club. For that, we have to wear our navy blue club polo tee. Sometimes, I quite dislike the colour of the tee as it is quite difficult to match with the bottom of my outfit. After that, I will attend a shiseido talk held in the convention centre with my EEE Club friends. For both events we need a total of 50 people from our club. Hope there is enough.

I shall end here as my lesson is ending soon.

A Bright Day!

Woke up at around 9.30am this morning. Tried forcing myself back to sleep but to no avail. i guess i was basking under the sun's beam. It was rather blazing hot as the curtains for my window is pulled apart, allowing the beams to enter. My mum asked mii to change both the bedsheets for my bro and i. Guess what? It actually took mii 25 mins to complete my task! I will have to go school later at around 1pm because my lessons starts at 1.30pm. And its maths! i dislike maths. i can't understand why i am so weak in maths. Whenever the lecturer teach on a new topic, i dun even understand what she is talking about. And that causes me not to listen for the rest of the lecture for that day. When can i ever undertand what i am taught?

I am going running this Thursday with some of the EEEC girls. We decided to run the perimeter of the school campus. And from what my friends said, it's equivilant to running 10 rounds in the stadium, and 1 round of the stadium is 400m. Which means to say, total distance that we have to run on thursday:
400m X 10rounds
= 4000m
= 4km

How am i going to cover such a long distance?? (It's long to me) My stamina is rather weak. *sobs* But nevertheless, i am going to perservere and run for the sake of my TKD. Without stamina, my sparring would be reduced to almost nothing. I must get my black-belt!! But it's super difficult, cuz firstly, have to remember all the patterns even from those junior belts. secondly, i have to improve on my sparring techniques, eg. turning kick, 360 kick, back-thrust, back-hook, slamming kick. The more kicks u show and the more skllful it is, the higher chance of passing the grading. I hope to take part in IVP(tournament) if it's possible. But if through calculation, by the time the IVP comes, i would at least have to be a brown belt, which means, my opponent and i will have the chance to kick head area. Which also means, its more dangerous. *frowns**haiis*

I shall end here and continue tomorrow.

Rainy Day!

It has been raining since this morning. I woke up at 6am and to my horror, i realised that my Game Fiesta Tee was not dry yet. I was quite frantic at that time. I started calling Caspar at 6.20am. and guess what? i woke him up when i called him. *oops* but although the tee was very wet, my mum said that it can be dried by afternoon. Luckily, my dad passed me my tee at ard 11.45am at the carpark of moberly.*phew* Finally i got my tee!

This morning, i finally completed my project 1 mini project's internal component(the circuit). I cant wait to complete the whole melody box!! Had CRS(critical reasoning skills) this afternoon. We had discussion for the topic: 1) Should teenagers abstain from sex totally?
2) Should teenagers engage in sexual activities?
I chose the question 1: My main points are:

(1) Most teenagers engage in sexual activites for the sake of both pleasure or relief stress. In that case, they can search for an alternative for ways of relieving stress.

(2) Most teenagers who have engage in sexual activities, would have mutiple sex partners. Doing so, they are prone to contracting sexuallt trasmitted diseases(STD).

(3) Even if teenagers were to use temporarily contraceptive methods, these methods are not foolproof, which means the chances of having the female getting pregnant is still a certain percentage. Besides, the use of contraceptive pills have side effects. for example, it 'messes' up the menstrual cycle of a female. She might even have trouble conceiving infuture. As i have mentioned above, contraceptive methods are not fool proof, so, if a female gets pregnant, is she going to give up her child or bear the child? If she is going to abort the child, firstly, she have ended an innocent life. Secondly, she would have a higher chance of contracting breast cancer. Thirdly, there would be a permanent mental scar of the experience left in her. If the female decided to bear the child, who is going to be responsible for it? the guy or the female? Who is going to be responsible for the upbringing of the child. Many a times, young teenagers fo not consider these important factors, and realise the vast consequences, thus causing their fellow friends to follow them. This also involves peer pressure.

Naturally, we had to elaborate further on our main points while presenting it to the class.
Next, we went through the article on "Media images of women". I find that these 2 topics are quite straightforward and simple. Hope it gets more challenging after every lesson.

I skipped my auto-CADD lessons today to go EEEC to help. Did i miss alot for lessons? I've found out recently that i place my EEEC top priority(in school), sometimes even before my studies. Right now, i am missing the delicious muffin sold near my kelvin korkor house(choc & spice). I love both the cheese muffin and the chocolate muffin. The batter for the muffins are just right. It is neither too moist or too dry. The chocolate muffin has this rich chocolate taste but eating it does not give u a queasy feeling. I dislike those muffin which has a very strong taste of flour. I guess i am being hooked onto both muffin and donuts. i have not got the chance to try out those donuts at CityHall. I've tried donuts at a stall in VIVOcity though. But i think there is nothing much spectacular about those donuts there. i ate the both the blueberry and mon'cherry donuts. I guess i will have donuts and muffin hunting. *hahas* I think i might be having a muffin from my kor soon.

Today, i had some problem with my lappy again. I don't understand why my other friends who bought acer lappies does not have as much problems as me! *arrgh* My lappy now contracted another virus-like stuff. I guess i will have to reformat it again. But the re-installation of the softwares and programs after that bores me. i have to wait like at least 1 hour for eveything to be fit for use. Having TKD training tml again. Might be sparring with some ppl. So i'm bringing my guards along.

My post for today ends here. I shall continue either tml or the following day.

My Day

Just came back from shopping with my family. Went out with them at around 3pm. We headed for a food centre just beside AMK HUB, and had chicken rice for our meal(is it a late lunch or early dinner?). Personally, i think that the chicken rice sold there is not up to standard. The chicken is quite raw. The worst of all is the rice. It has strands of ginger in it. I HATE GINGER!!! sobs. it was kind of like a torture just picking up those tiny strands with my chopsticks. But out of the whole meal, i liked the soup best! it had peanuts and chicken feet in it, and it was quite tasty. After our meal, we headed on to the AMK HUB(NTUC) to buy my FBT shorts. i bought 2 of it. i bought a top too in IP Zone. We left that area at about 7pm. On our way back home in my dad's car, i called my aunt to ask her if she wants to go to the gym. after she said she was on her way to IMM, my mum decided to meet up with her and my grandma there. We walked and walked till ard 9pm. its so tiring!

Right now, i m still trying to figure out the perfect way of editing the codes of my blog. My friend gave mii his link to his blog today. i find it awesome. his blog has the application of password. And best of all, he created the blogskin himself. How i wish i have his knowledge of using codes just like him. I AM A PURE NOOB! *sobs*.

i think i will end here today and continue tomorrow. :)

Tired!

I just created this blog last night, but moved on to editing the contents this morning. i've been starting on the edition of my blog at the time of 10am. right now, its almost done, but renovation is still in progress. this blog is giving mii headaches! i m not used to editing codes as i have been using friendster blogs, which does not require such codes. the reason why i have decided to use blogger is because i want to change the skin of my blog. but please spare me from any critisism as i m not very experienced in this aspect. & also, please leave mii any comments for the perfection of my blog! thx a whole bunch!

i have to stop here as i m going out to Ang Mo Kio Hub with my family. i will continue again hopefully when i get back.
